The mysterious Haruhi website<\/a> has been updated<\/a>. Don’t see any changes? Look at the source code.<\/p>\n

\"Haruhi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Read on for the details.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The DOCTYPE declaration has been taken off. The original DOCTYPE was !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional\/\/EN\"<\/code>.<\/p>\n

People were speculating that Funimation was the one who licensed Haruhi because the DOCTYPE matches the one used on their website<\/a>. It seems that whoever licensed Haruhi wanted to kill this rumour, since it’s kind of weird for someone to remove a working DOCTYPE for no reason (the site is valid HTML 4.01 according to W3C<\/a>). <\/p>\n

The hidden text in the source code has also been changed to \u00e3\u20ac\u0152\u00e5\u0152\u2014\u00e7\u00b1\u00b3\u00e8\u00a8\u02c6\u00e7\u201d\u00bb\u00e3\u0081\u0152\u00e7\u2122\u00ba\u00e5\u0160\u00b9\u00e3\u0081\u2014\u00e3\u0081\u0178\u00e3\u20ac\u201a\u00e3\u20ac\u008d, or “the North American project has been launched.” I think this pretty much confirms it 100% that Haruhi is licensed.<\/p>\n

If the DOCTYPE was really removed because of the rumours, then this pretty much rules out Funimation as the mysterious company. Plus the fact that all the “in-jokes” are being done in Japanese, it leads me to believe that the licensing company has to be Kadokawa Pictures USA (which currently only has FMP! TSR<\/strong><\/a> under its belt).<\/p>\n

Haruhi.tv<\/a> has also been updated with an escape program<\/a> from YUKI.N. Looks like season two announcement is coming soon.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case is, you can hear my wallet dreading the future. \u00ef\u00bc\u00bf|\u00ef\u00bf\u00a3|O<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
